My latest irritation has been converting a master doc to a single doc. It pulls 
the sub docs in as links instead of really making it a single doc. But there's 
now an issue and it looks like my concerns are being addressed.

At some point, when I can find the time, I might put together a document 
(either as part of the master docs chapter or a separate document) about 
working around the "glitches." Right now, though, I've found myself swamped 
again and unable to get to some of my side projects, like OOo.

I have quite a list of "glitches" with master docs, and have 
filed several issues. Some of the older problems have been fixed, 
but many have not. The biggest problem for me is the random 
errors in cross- referencing within a single file when it is a 
subdoc in a master doc, but not when it is a standalone file. 
This has been such a big problem that I have given up attempting 
to compile the Writer Guide using a master doc; instead, I pull 
all the chapters into one big file. That is a bit time- consuming, 
but no more than trying to find and fix all the wrong x- refs, and 
I'm more confident that the final result will be okay.
